I love ronaldhino and he was good at this game, but I have to admit that in this match okocha was destroying the entire brazil team, passes, plays, he was great at this match.
The ever mesmeric Jay Jay, only the shade of his skin made him to not get the utmost recognition he truly deserves, one of the most skillful to ever don the football boots, one of the most imaginative
I'm a Brazil Fan but to tell ya' Okocha played outstandingly than any player in the two teams including the soccer god Dinho ,, He was unlucky he never had a good collective team with great individual quality like Brazil hard .Kudos to him! He's a legend
Watching this match, I draw up a training manual for new managers I recruited for a company. I told them that unless they play like a team, no matter how much one individual plays (like Okocha) the team will always be beaten.
@@Spacehaven12 who is a mentor brother?A mentor is someone you look up to , or you admire , someone you will like to be like him , someone who inspires you. Your role model. Ronaldinho has Always loved to be like Jay Jay Okocha or even better than him. Jay Jay Okocha inspired Ronaldinho alot. Let us give Okocha the credit , If Okocha was playing for the Brazilian National team, he would have been world best player.
Imagine we had Okocha playing in his prime with Ndidi behind him and prime Enyeama in goal. Top Notch Strikers and good defenders. Nigeria would have been a team to beat.
Nigeria had that in the past, Sunday Oliseh was better than Ndidi, we had Taribu west in defense, Ikshoromu as a keeper, Rashidi Yekini in attack, Babayaro, Aghawowa.. We had one of the very tormenting groups in the past.
Football is short of these type of players, playmakers who take over the midfield like a boss and dictate the pace of the creating chances for attackers and quicker players in general, nowadays every wants to be on the scoresheet, opting to shoot from the most ridiculous of positions, while a teammate waits in a better position
Veo en Okocha una mezcla de Maradona, ubicación en la cancha, liderazgo, cómo va a buscar la pelota y la pide continuamente. La habilidad y forma de eludir, viveza y recursos similares a Garrincha pero más evolucionado. En éste partido superó al gran Ronaldinho...
Nice observation bro,but what u fail to observe is that okocha had no experience striker to make good use of those wonderful passes..speaking of maturity,okocha is so superb in this match
In my view the best Nigerian team ever was the 1994 squad. The ensueing ones just flatter to deceive, lazy, poor decision making, uninspiring. They failed to groom 1996 Olympic team into formidable outfit. Crucify me, that's my take. I used to like them so much
Very well said my friend...Its a Nigerian thing! the talent is not in question. Their isn't a dirt of talents in that country. Rather, what they lack is managerial and organizational abilities. What they have in abundance is unmitigated corruption and lack of accountability at all levels starting from the central government and permeating the rank and file of that nation. As such, the NFA is no exception and the result of this level of managerial ineptitude is what you just adroitly characterized here...and its a shame and a great loss not only to that country but to the rest of Africa and all black nations around the world. So much was expected of them and at some point after 1994, the rest of Africa looked up to them to possibly deliver the world cup for the first time... but I guess we may have to look elsewhere!
You are just right, so no one will crucify you. The soccer managers will rather owe Nigerian coaches and pay coaches that aren't ready to work hard and get the real talents into the team. Corruption is the cancer destroying Nigerian success.
Okocha was surrounded by so very average team mates who didn't complement his genius moves & passes. Very static, watching Okocha instead of making runs to confuse the opponents. I don't think in my lifetime Africa will never win World Cup, we've regressed so much since Suarez's jiggery pockery during Ghana match
Truth be said. This wasn't J.J Okocha vs Ronaldinho. It was J.J. Okocha vs Brazil. Super Legend J.J. Okocha. With love from Uganda 🇺🇬,🇺🇬🇺🇬
